So psyched

The link doesn't work.

[Maguspk]

It's working for me, not sure what's wrong. The video is on IGN too though so you can get watch it there too.

I'd be psyched if it wasn't for the fucking Wii.

[Charismatic]

shitsux anyway, don't get too excited

[Rokku]

Looks decent, I'll probably pick it up in due time.

[Klain]

I like it so far myself. The only thing that pisses me off is if you get hit while auto running automatic critical hit, though it's pretty easy not to get at all excluding Mystic Artes.

[Firedemon]

Ya. I'm kinda choked as well it's on Wii only, I fuckin' loved ToS on the Cube.

[Lujei]

Yep, Wii only means I won't play it, even though I enjoyed the original.

[Kohan]

You all owned GameCubes, but didn't get a Wii? Hm. The Wii is the only "current gen" system which I picked up at launch; I bought an Xbox 360 several months afterward, and still don't have a PS3. No plans to get a PS3, either, but that's beside the point. A Wii is relatively inexpensive, has enough games to make it worth owning, and plays all your GC titles -- why not get one? Unless you have no expendable income like that, which would be completely understandable.

[Charismatic]

has enough games to make it worth owning

lol

[Kiarax]

lol

^, seriously. Brawl, No More Heroes, Mario Kart. Does it actually have anything else worth even considering the system for? Sure there's some half-decent stuff like Zack and Wiki which may be worth buying if you already own the system, but if you don't already own one it's hardly a selling point.

Then again I bought a PS3 for one game, so I can't really talk.

[Lujei]

For me, the Wii does not have enough games that I would enjoy to warrant buying it. I did buy a PS3, but I had a list of at least seven games that were currently available that I wanted for it. I can name maybe two that I'd play on Wii.

Mario Galaxy was amazing in my opinion. Excludinga few rpg, it was probably my favorite game in the last few years. A little too easy maybe, but everything was fun and beautiful.

[sephir]

To be honest, I have all 3 systems (bought 360 for $12) and my Wii gets the very least usage even though I am in a 4 person (ages 20-22) house. Sure stuff like Wii bowling and Mario Galaxy is fun and all but I could so bored of it after a month or so. Brawl was great for a while, but im actually getting sick of the SSMB concept now.

360 right now is my favourite system as its offering some of the best titles for me. Gow1/2, ToV, CoD, LR etc. are all great. Even though a few of those are multi system, I enjoy it the most on the 360 over anything else. With the addition of FF13 and Star Ocean coming out, its quickly becoming one of the best systems ive seen in quite a while.

as far as ToS2 goes, I didn't like it. I found it a little too silly for its own good. Many of the Tales games are catered to a younger audience, but this just went a little too mcuh for me. Not to mention the story line seemed to ruin what was a great game with ToS.

[Lujei]

The original Symphonia comes off as if it's catered to younger audiences, but it's packed with important themes that the younger crowd will miss. Religion/morals/beliefs and questioning them, bigotry, and racism come to mind immediately but I'm sure there's more than that. I have no problem with the "childish humor" as there is some substance there as well.

[Kohan]

I personally don't consider "No More Heroes" and "Mario Kart Wii" to be must-owns, but a lot of people like the former and the majority prefers the latter to "Mario Kart: Double Dash!!", which makes them good options. Aside from them, there's (off the top of my head)...

"Super Mario Galaxy"
"Metroid Prime 3: Corruption"
"Trauma Center: Second Opinion"
"Trauma Center: New Blood"
"Super Smash Bros. Brawl"
"Super Paper Mario"
"The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess"
"Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros's Treasure"
"Wario Land: Shake It!"
"Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition"
"Okami"

And then there are titles which "aren't for everyone," but at least deserve a shot, as they're "love it or hate it"-types:

"Elebits"
"Sonic and the Secret Rings"
"WarioWare: Smooth Moves"
"NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams"
"Cooking Mama"
"Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz"
"Mario Strikers Charged"

There are upcoming titles that are intriguing, such as "The Conduit" (which I've played and loved, though I doubt it'll do well once it hits the market), and then there's everything on the Virtual Console. Even if you're against playing games that are easily emulated, there are a multitude of excellent releases wholly worth paying for, such as "Sin & Punishment."

And if you doubt I thought of most of those off the top of my head, that's essentially my entire collection of Wii games, which is larger than my Xbox 360 gallery. I also have upwards of fifty Sega Saturn games, almost all domestic, and forty Sega Dreamcast titles -- I'm an advocate for most mainstream systems that have undeservingly received bad raps.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and "Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles," shit's awesome. Great "light gun" shooter.

Fire Emblem 10, Okami, and Brawl are what made my wii worthwhile

(that and playing a bunch of GC games I never did before, mainly FE9)

Still haven't played this, and not really looking forward to it, meh spinoffs

[Kohan]

I haven't played this yet either, and I want to like it because it's related to Symphonia, but I have a dreadful feeling it's going to be crappy. That's what I've heard, but I will play it anyway. Played Legendia from beginning to end after all.

Going to play Symphonia PS2 before this, though. I should really finally beat Rebirth also.

[Charismatic]

Yes, you go beat Rebirth and then you will assault motherfuckers with those Maxwell extensions and then bust out that BLUE EARTH.

And yeah, PS2 Symphonia is cool and all but unless you just want the extra hi-ougis and various misc stuff it's not really worth it.
Never finished Legendia; This game is definitely better than that, but still one of the worst Tales games I've played.
